    Read your owners manual. You can safely use automotive engine oil as long as it doesn't say energy conserving in that little donut stamp. I've use mobil 1 for six years and 25,000 miles with out clutch slipage.

    Confession is good for the soul. And in your case the backside as well. Perhaps I should amend this to say, Your confession is good for OUR back sides. THANKS!

    Yes. Just roll the wheel until the valve stim is at the bottom, let the air out, remove the valve stim, put 8oz of Ride-On in the tire, replace the valve stim, air back up, and roll the bike around. Then you are good to go.

    I have seen the Slime repair kit/pump at Wal Mart for $13.00 and at Harbor Freight no price posted there. I think I'll buy the one at Wal Mart set the Slime on the shelf, and put the pump in the took kit. I'm assuming the pump worked well. That's why I didn't buy it in the first place. I wasn't too sure it was worth anything. Where did you plug it in? Did you use the accessory plug in the fairing? I was unsure if it could handle the load.

    No I did not buy it ar Wal Mart. The ride-on was already in the tire. The puncture was near the edge of the tread close to the side wall. Not in a part of the tire where I normally ride to and from work. When I parked the bike the puncture was on the up side of the tire directly away from where the ride-on could seal the hole. When I came out from work the tire was flat, so I muscled the bike over to wally world to fill it up. Then made sure that I rolled around at a pretty good lean angle to get the sealant along the part of the tire where the leak was. That was friday this is sunday the tire is still holding air. Seem to me like it works. By the way my wife's new Mazda MX-5 doesn't have a spare, just tire sealant and a pump. Kind of the same principle, I think.

    Had a flat when I left work yesterday. Found a small whole, muscled it to Wal Mart next door to work and filled it up. Road home got up this morning and its still good. Tire was kind of Ify anyway, so I'm going to wait on the new one before I ride again. But for what its worth, if you have Ride-On in the tires and a way to inflate them when you get a puncture you can "RIDE-ON".

    I'm at 15,000 miles on the rear and 14000 on the front ME880's. But as can be read on on another thread I have tires ordered to replace both right now. Funny that the front wore out faster than the rear.

    Thanks Goose.

    Thanks for the reply. Do you have the Harbor Freight motorcycle attachment for the tire changer? I'm thinking about one of these cause the tire changer is not too much more expensive as two tire irons and a bead breaker. Eric

    You guys that are mounting your own what are you using. Tire irons? Tire changer? I've used both but don't have either at this time. Also what method are you using to ballance them? What kind of balance weights? The adheasive type or that old fashioned clamp on type? Have you been replacing the valve stims as well? Eric
